Pretty bad idea. This would make people have to play both Ambush and Skirmish then in order to hit their cap. People shouldn't feel compelled to play certain game modes. People should be playing whatever they find the most fun to play.
Further, what would be the point? So instead of 24k SP cap, you get 12k SP cap for Ambush and 12k SP for Skirmish? What problem have you solved exactly?
There are legitimate issues with the SP cap. The lack of progression is a decent issue. This idea solves none of the issues with the cap, and only introduces new ones. |

They want people to be spending many years developing their characters. They don't want people to max out their skills. The whole point behind the cap is that they don't want the people to grind through the progression incredibly quickly and therefore eliminate the ongoing, ever-lasting progression that EVE also has. |

Their explicitly stated intent is for years of progression. Maybe you could lend them your crystal ball some day so that they can see the future as well as you can, and they can change their plans accordingly.
As for adding more skills, that implies adding more content. That takes a significant amount of time to do well, and feeling compelled to add content for the sake of adding more skills is a pretty bad thing to want hanging over their head. They will undoubtedly be adding skills to correspond to new vehicles etc, but you can't expect that to happen so frequently in an uncapped progression system that it'd keep people occupied in any real sense.
That said, I don't find the current setup to be ideal and I hope they change it. I don't think the cap is too low necessarily, but making 8k SP a match to abruptly making 50 SP regardless of how well I do is unsatisfying to say the least. I imagine we haven't seen the last of changes to Dust's SP system. |
